crazybobbles Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 exciting times Did they say anything about the sound? I'm curious about that lace pickup; only really familiar with the single coils they do. don't think they tried out the sound on guitar rig ;0 *coughollygetarealampcough* I'm tagging along so Olly will get to see CE-7 BLACK GLITTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I got really excited, and then I saw the mini MIDI screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yea the Mini MIDI is just ugly IMO. I am torn if I like the Santa amount of glitter on the black, or the 7 string manson style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am torn if I like the Santa amount of glitter on the black, or the 7 string manson style. well with the even black glitter you know what you're getting, the stripes can make you angry that the lines are not straight enough or the angle isn't consistent so the lines are parallel. so yeah, consistency.

Olly. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not a fan of that black glitter and no to the pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah that just looks tacky imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind it too much in general, but I don't know about this one. I think the two piece bridge also makes it look a bit cluttered compared to the hard tail and full sized X-Y pad like on the MB-1. Just a thought anyway. It's probably why I got away with putting it in the stealth DC This one looks much better to me, but it would look even better with a full sized one because of the unused space. and yeah, I agree with what crazybobbles said, but in general I prefer the santa style finish... unless it doesn't work on that particular guitar (I'd definitely get an even finish on an E shape) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 well with the even black glitter you know what you're getting, the stripes can make you angry that the lines are not straight enough or the angle isn't consistent so the lines are parallel. so yeah, consistency. Send it back and tell them to do it properly! The mini screen looks so out of place - kind of a shame because I can see why they released it, but it just doesn't look right somehow.

Olly. Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Kinda feels defunct now if they're doing the full size pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I can only think it's still an option if people want a bridge like the TOM that takes up more space, or a trem bridge possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that, but remember it's also an option for the MA series, so I'm sure they'll still be popular enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 inb4 Olly and the best looking fucking Manson I've ever seen Yeah that. I'm confused as to why I'm getting notifications when other people favorite Olly's tweets though. Maybe it's just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How does the middle position sound? I know how you said the neck was really warm, but the bridge was pretty bright/twangy Also, Works website is selling HAP machine heads? My prayers (and probably loads of other people's) have been answered. Now they just need to get the strap extender on there for us tall folk (unless it's already on the shop website, but I don't see it) edit: http://www.mansons.co.uk/product/manson-leather-strap-extender-deluxe-5991 YES. Need about five of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Also, Works website is selling HAP machine heads? I got mine from these guys james, http://japarts.ca I contacted them through e-mail, you tell them the exact style you want, so I got the HAP-M (Locking ones). You tell them the finish, the button style etc. If you look at all the hundreds of combinations available on the Gotoh site, you can get any of them. These guys will send you the invoice, you pay it, and the order get sent directly to Gotoh who fills it. Took 3 weeks or so, but you can get exactly what you want this way, and have way more options. The price was not terrible either. I paid $115 for the HAP-M tuners. AllParts.com charges $145 (+ tax and shipping) for just HAP, no locking.
